We Help Those Who Help Themselves

J. Michael Collins presents: SOVAS™ Academic Scholarship

At SOVAS™, we understand that working voice actors, and those who wish to become working voice actors, may not have the financial means to cultivate their talents through continuing education. We understand that pursuing a voiceover career is a significant financial investment. Further, we recognize that there are no shortcuts to success. Working with the most reputable acting schools, voiceover coaches, producers and audio engineers is an absolute necessity. As such, we honor the personal investment by those who purchase a ticket to That’s Voiceover!™ Career Expo, understanding that it is more of a sacrifice for some than others. This is why we created the Society of Voice Arts and Sciences J. Michael Collins Academic Scholarship, sponsored by J. Michael Collins.
